In the former Sovjet Block it is mor commonly spread than in the rest of Europé. TB is caused by mycobacteria: M. tuberculosis humans M. bovis cattle and deer M. avium birds New strains om M. tuberculosis have developed resistance to most known antibiotics 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program Tuberculosis

  5. Bovin tuberculosis in cattle is a growing problem in many countries, both within EU as in other countries. A control program is ongoing in EU. People can be infected by M. bovis from deer – SO DON’T KISS A DEER! In wild, free living, animals it is most common in badgers, wild boar and deer. In a deer farm TB can spread through respiratory air, from superficial lesions and from infected feedning places. It can often also come from infected wild animals (e.g. badgers and wild boar). 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program Tuberculosis

The infection was traced back to an import of fallow deer from another country in Europe 1987. In all 14 deer farms, out of approx. 500, were infected with TB All of the infected deer were fallow deer. No case in red deer has been found, but red deer is also susceptible to TB. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB in deer

Already after the first outbreak in 1991 a small number of deer farms voluntarily started to test their deer after a scheme used in Danemark. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB in deer

These non voting paricipants give advice to the TBCB. The decisions made by TBCB is given as advice to the proper authorities – mainly The Swedish Board of Agriculture who the issues directives for the program. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

ALL FARMS also have to report annually, about number of deer, areal i farm, deer bought and sold, TB-inspection protocols etc. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

  28. SKIN TEST 3 double ( M.bovis and M. avium) skin tests required. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

  29. SKIN TEST 3 double ( M.bovis and M. avium) skin tests required. Method: The fur is shaved on the side of the neck when the deer is resticted. The vet injects small amount of tuberculine IN the skin, marks the injection spots, measure (in mm) the thickness of the skin on those two points, and the result is written in a protocol. All participating deer has to be ear tagged. After 72 hours the deer are once again cought and restricted and the injection spots are again measured. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

  30. SKIN TEST 3 double ( M.bovis and M. avium) skin tests required. Method: The fur is shaved on the side of the neck when the deer is resticted. The vet puts small amount of tuberculine in the scin, marks the injection spots, measure (in mm) the thickness of the skin on those two point, and the result is written in a protocol. All paticipating dder has to be eartagged. After 72 hours the deer are once again cought and restricted and the injection spots are again measured. M. avium was used because it is widely spread among birds in Sweden, and that it often cross reacts with M. bovis, thus giving a false ”positive” reaction for bovin TB. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

M. avium was used because it is widely spread among birds in Sweden, and that it often cross reacts with M. bovis, thus giving a false ”positive” reaction for bovin TB. The first test was performed on all deer in the herd. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

The first test was performed on all deer in the herd. The second test was performed at least 90 days after the first test and only on females over the age of one year. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

The third test was performed at least 12 month after the first test and also only on adult females. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

  34. SKIN TEST After 3 tests, without any reaction indicating bovin TB, the farm was officially declared as free from TB. If all deer was ear tagged before the age of one year the farm was also allowed to sell living deer to other farms. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

  35. SKIN TEST After 3 tests, without any reaction indicating bovin TB, the farm was officially declared as free from TB. If all deer was ear tagged before the age of one year the farm was also allowed to sell living deer to other farms. After these three initial tests the test had to be repeated with an interval of 36 month in order to keep its status as free from TB. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

If all deer was ear tagged before the age of one year the farm was also allowed to sell living deer to other farms. After these three initial tests the test had to be repeated with an interval of 36 month In order to keep its status as free from TB. From 2006 a farm would get a permanent status as free from TB after four tests, provided that no deer was brought into the farm from other farms than those who had also tested at least four times. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

New farms who bought their deer from farms that had testet 4 times whera also declared free from TB. The deer farm in Sweden that has tested the most times has tested 10 times. It is one of the farms who started testing already in 1991, three years before the control program started. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program

  48. HOW DID SWEDISH DEER FARMER ACT AND REACT? 50 – 60% of the deer farmer chosed method 2 = kill all deer and eventually put in new deer. Many chosed not to put in new deer and the number of deer farms with deer decreased from approx. 500 to a little bit over 300. 2008-03-26 Rolf Eriksson Swedish TB Control Program TB Control Program
